This topical volume offers new empirical evidence on Indian skilled migrants living in European countries, which have become important destinations in the global competition for talent, and on returnees in India. Making use of an interdisciplinary and multi-level analytical framework, which simultaneously includes diaspora interventions and return migration as its main channels of participation, the studies included in this volume offer original insights into the dynamics of skilled migration from India and its effects. The chapters highlight the determining factors required to channel possible contributions towards broad-based development and they suggest policy options for the home and host countries. Skilled migration has emerged as a major theme in the migration and development nexus in recent years, and this has led to an increase in studies that contemplate foreign-based skilled individuals from the perspective of their potential contributions to their countries of origin, either through diaspora interventions or their eventual return. India is a paradigmatic case, given the significant presence of Indian skilled professionals and students in industrialised countries and the established positive vision of their influence on the socioeconomic progress of the country through transfers of knowledge and skills, investment and financial remittances. At the same time, the number of skilled professionals returning to India has also increased, and these returnees bring an accumulation of knowledge and technical abilities, financial resources and entrepreneurial ventures, which are susceptible to generating changes in the local context. However, the creation of benefits depends on several factors, mostly associated with structural conditions and opportunities in the countries of destination and origin concerned. The volume critically discusses the above issues in the context of skilled migration from India to Europe and will be useful for academics and policy makers interested in migration studies and development issues.

Why have ninety million workers around the globe left their homes for employment in other countries? What can be done to ensure that international labor migration is a force for global betterment? This groundbreaking book presents the most comprehensive analysis of the causes and effects of labor migration available, and it recommends sensible, sustainable migration policies that are fair to migrants and to the countries that open their doors to them. The authors survey recent trends in international migration for employment and demonstrate that the flow of authorized and illegal workers over borders presents a formidable challenge in countries and regions throughout the world. They note that not all migration is from undeveloped to developed countries and discuss the murky relations between immigration policies and politics. The book concludes with specific recommendations for justly managing the world's growing migrant workforce.

Ce livre offre de nouvelles perspectives sur le concept de la diversité et le rôle que la diversité peut jouer dans le monde du travail de demain. Des universitaires et des praticiens et praticiennes de diverses disciplines et origines réfléchissent aux interventions les plus appropriées pour créer un marché du travail plus inclusif pour tout le monde. Ils explorent les arguments économiques en faveur de la diversité et des stratégies de gestion de la diversité, en constatant que la diversité et l’inclusion sont indissociables. Les auteurs et autrices montrent que les préjugés et les stéréotypes qui conduisent à la discrimination et à la violence – qu’il s’agisse de formes flagrantes ou plus subtiles comme les microagressions – constituent un obstacle majeur à la diversité. Toutefois, le changement culturel sur le lieu de travail ne peut être obtenu par des politiques ponctuelles et l’efficacité des initiatives en faveur de la diversité peut dépendre de variables extérieures au marché du travail. Les protections juridiques contre la discrimination et les dispositions relatives à l’égalité des chances pour les « personnes diverses » ne sont souvent pas suffisantes pour obtenir des résultats en matière d’égalité et d’inclusion. L’ouvrage met également en lumière le dilemme politique entre le respect des individus avec toutes leurs particularités et la lutte contre les inégalités structurelles, qui nécessite souvent une catégorisation en groupes. Il nous rappelle qu’il existe une diversité au sein de la diversité : toutes les personnes qui reçoivent la même étiquette n’ont pas les mêmes besoins. L’ouvrage aborde des questions telles que l’égalité des sexes et le mainstreaming, la migration et la diversité ethnique, le racisme, la violence à l’égard des personnes LGBTI et la discrimination fondée sur l’âge. Les outils utilisés dans un domaine pour surmonter l’exclusion sont souvent applicables dans d’autres. Le futur de la diversité est donc une riche source d’inspiration pour tous ceux qui souhaitent progresser vers une plus grande justice sur le marché du travail.
